Deep Learning: Classics and Trends
Coming Up
The Story
“A super influential reading group that has achieved cult-like status.” —John Sears
Deep Learning: Classics and Trends (DLCT) is a paper reading group run by Rosanne since 2018. It started within Uber AI Labs, with the support of Zoubin, Ken, and Jason, and the help of many, when we felt the need of a space to sample the overwhelmingly large amount of papers, and to hold free-form, judgemental (JK) discussions; or as Piero puts it, to “ask a million questions”.
Since then, it has grown much larger, first opened up to the broader machine learning community in Uber, then to the general public in 2019. In March 2020, in light of COVID-19, we hold all meetings virtually, making it radically accessible to anyone from anywhere. Starting June 2020, DLCT operates under ML Collective, with a mission of making researchers more connected.
You will see most MLC members here weekly, as well as our long time friends, supporters, and potential collaborators from the broader community.
- Time: Every Friday, 12pm - 1pm Pacific Time
- Place: Virtually on Zoom (up to 100 participants)
- Format: Presentation based. An invited speaker would talk about a paper with slides, a lot of the time themselves being the author of the paper.
- Scope: Deep learning, old (a.k.a. “let’s revisit the 2014 GAN paper”) and new (a.k.a. “look at this blog post from yesterday”).
- Join the email group to receive announcements of the upcoming talk. I only email once a week; so I'd recommend subscribing to "Every new message".
- Nominate a speaker, a paper, or just tell me what you think. Self-nominations are welcome and encouraged!
